As I was saying, “I was only talking about England & Wales – not even Scotland – far less the US. (Perhaps I should have been talking about Scotland – which I’m not equipped to do – since the Ramsays’ house is in Skye!)”.

in modern use, a perpetual lease for a fixed rentDifficult for the outsider to grasp how renting perpetually is different *in practice* from owning. Surely after x years the rent will = 0? Even less than “twopence half-penny”.
